Economic Recession:
Are we really in a full blown recession? Obviously someone believes we are headed that direction. We were given economic stimulus checks to spend to help boost the economy. But why? Could it be possible to the war in Iraq and the amazing amounts of money spent to fund it? What about social security? Are more people saving instead of spending in hopes that they will have a nest egg during retirement? What spurs the economic development to become an independent country once again? Thoughts?

I don't think we're in a full blown recession. The stimulus checks are nothing more than our money the government took from us and returned without interest.
Our government throws more money away on pet social programs than it's spent on the war in Iraq. Here's a link to my website that has links to where the money goes.
Whatever Comes to Mind...
As far as Socialistic Insecurity goes, it was never intended to be a retirement plan but a supplement to the plan we're supposed to have created for ourselves. However, Congress has successfully conned most people into believing it is a retirement plan. SI (socialistic insecurity) is like the minimum wage. It's not supposed to support a family because it's only an entry level wage. It's up to the individual to become proficient and marketable for more money and support themselves and/or their families.
The best thing to stimulate the economy is huge tax cuts for everybody and keep the government out of it.
